Spy balloon, UFO or Dragon Ball? Japan baffled by iron ball washed up on beachAccording to a report by Asahi News, the mysterious ball was reported by a local resident in Hamamatsu, a southern coastal city about 155 miles from Tokyo, who called the police just before 9 a.m. saying "a large round object was washed up on the beach".
The sphere, measured about 1.5 metres in diameter, the local media reported. Authorities feared that it could be a stray mine were dismissed after experts used X-ray technology to examine the object's interior and found that it was hollow, the Guardian reported. Footage of the officials dressed in protective gear also surfaced on social media.

I saw a video a few weeks ago, of a bunch of big Christmas decorations getting blown away in a storm.

powering the turbine. Like a bathtub plug. There is a specialty coating shop here in Denver that covers similar balls like that with thick rubber. Just saying.
